Owen Sound and the surrounding area is warmly called home by over 30,000 people living at the base of Georgian Bay, where the Sydenham River and Potawatomi River converge. In the summer months you will find Owen Sound to be a thriving city in close proximity to Sauble Beach, a very popular destination for both local traffic and tourists alike, as well as many smaller towns with lots of activities and venues for recreation and relaxation. Owen Sound serves as a meeting point of four of Ontario’s provincial highways: Highway 6&10 from the south, Highway 26 from the east, and Highway 21 from the west.

Being established in 1851, Owen Sound includes many different types and styles of homes for sale. A prospective buyer will find century homes with original hardwood flooring and crown mouldings, intimate war-time houses suitable for retirement living or small families, split level bungalows, updated retro houses and a more modern flare of newly built houses in suburbs throughout the town.

Nature, Outdoors, and Activity
Owen Sound is located right on the Niagara Escarpment and is a matter of minutes from the Bruce Peninsula which boasts tall cliffs, incredible rock formations, great beaches and is home to the beautiful Bruce Peninsula National Park.

The famed Bruce Trail that runs from Niagara to Tobermory also winds its way through the forests, woodlands, and rivers surrounding Owen Sound as it makes its way toward Wiarton and the Bruce Peninsula. Among these rivers are numerous local waterfalls that offer picturesque landscapes for events, recreation, and peacefulness. Owen Sound’s natural beauty will leave you breathless in its splendor.

Buying real estate in Owen Sound means you can spend your days doing things most people only dream of.

You can live in some of Ontario’s most beautiful scenery if you invest in Owen Sound real estate. Owen Sound itself boasts a beautiful harbour, with many walking paths, trails, and parks to enjoy the extensive waterfront.

If you desire to escape the fast-paced city life with your own piece of land on which to build the home of your dreams, I can help you to find the perfect vacant lot or land for sale in Owen Sound. With both budget and luxury home builders in the area, incredible landscaping professionals and top-notch tradespeople, no size or complexity of home build is too great or small.
